10 Ways to Love Them By Listening

“There will be days when nothing you do feels like enough. There will be days when smiles don’t come easily and harsh words are spoken too quickly. On those days, I urge you not to say things like, ‘I am a failure,’ or ‘I can’t do anything right.’ Instead, I urge you to garner the strength, the patience, and the resolve to do one thing: Listen. Listen with your eyes, ears, and heart. They know. They know when you are listening, and it matters; it really matters. All the mistakes that you think are so unforgettable are actually quite insignificant in comparison to the way you love them by listening.”
